Press Garden is a new completely original level in Sonic Mania. It's an industrialized ancient ruin, resembling a printing house full of press-related elements.

Act 1 features more factory-like environment full of various boxes. Act 2 however changes completely, revealing a frozen Japanese garden with snow and sakura leaves falling from the sky.

Enemies

• Dragonfly - Badnik much like the insect of the same name. From Sonic & Knuckles's Mushroom Hill Zone but pink.
• A couple of crab-like Badniks, throwing a buzzsaw to each other.
• Splats - A jumping rabbit, spawns from the ink bottles with Dr. Eggman's face on them. Originally an unused Badnik from Sonic the Hedgehog.
• Carry - A hovering Badnik which bobs across the width of the screen. Tries to drop their cargo to freeze the player. From Knuckles Chaotix's Techno Tower.
• A woodpecker-like Badnik which pecks the trees to make small bombs fall.
• Asteron - Used as an exploding shuriken star by the Hard-Boiled Heavy. From Sonic the Hedgehog 2's Metropolis Zone.

Trivia

• This is probably Dr. Eggman's printing house, made for printing his propaganda press. It's revealed by the description "Wreak havoc at the propaganda factory" of the Playstation Trophy "Crate Expectations".
• The trees in Act 2 are used for making paper.
